This year’s edition, taking place from 8-13 April, features more than 2,000 exhibitors from 37 countries.
Almost 150 brands are represented, across 169,000 square metres of exhibition space, which includes more than 32,000 square metres of the returning Euroluce Biennial.
The Salone Internazionale del Mobile was founded in 1961 as a vehicle for promoting Italian furniture and furnishings exports. It soon became the most keenly awaited event in the world of furniture.
See some of the highlights of this year’s event.
Gucci | Bamboo Encounters
Gucci | Bamboo Encounters, an exhibition curated and designed by 2050+ and its founder Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, celebrates the enduring legacy of bamboo in Gucci’s design history and identity.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Milan’s 16th-century Chiostri di San Simpliciano during Fuorisalone 2025, the exhibition showcases a series of unique contributions by contemporary designers and artists from around the world who were invited to reimagine bamboo in bold and unexpected ways.
Dior Maison collaboration with Sam Baron
Dior Maison has revealed three unprecedented vases conceived by Sam Baron, as an extension of the Ode à la nature collection.
Each measuring almost a metre high and celebrating the beauty of nature, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Monsieur Dior, these unique vases unfold in irresistibly organic forms adorned with poetic plant motifs.
These handcrafted models use the hypnotic process of Italian mouth-blown glass, expressing the virtuoso savoir-faire and teamwork of the glass artisans.
Louis Vuitton Home Collections
Since 2012, Objets Nomades have epitomised Louis Vuitton’s creative audacity in the field of design. These limited-edition pieces celebrate the coming together of renowned artisans and contemporary design talents such as India Mahdavi, Patricia Urquiola and Estúdio Campana.
In 2025, Louis Vuitton continues to explore the world of design and home decor as it opens a new chapter with the launch of its Home Collections. A whole universe is dedicated to art de vivre for the very first time. Alongside Objets Nomades, the Louis Vuitton Home Collections are bringing together a new collection of furniture and lighting on an unprecedented scale, complete with decor lines, home textiles, tableware and unique games.
Paolo Sorrentino. La dolce attesa
La dolce attesa (Pavilions 22-24), the installation project by the director Paolo Sorrentino for the 2025 Salone, is an experience that transforms the space into a high-angled shot of suspended emotions, into a limbo of visual and sound suggestions.
Supported by the scenographer Margherita Palli and the soundscape of Max Casacci, the Oscar-winning director pays tribute to a universal feeling: waiting. Not an interval but life’s most serious time. Marked by the beating of a heart, hidden, mysterious.
Pierre-Yves Rochon. Villa Héritage
The French architect Pierre-Yves Rochon has designed an installation that affirms the importance of time and experience in an idea of the interior inspired by tradition, but reinterpreting it through a contemporary sensibility. The goal is to enhance the legacy of the past and project it into the future.
Villa Héritage is a space in which design becomes a shared and timeless language, capable of creating a dialogue between all the arts and prompting people to reflect on the idea of transmission.
Es Devlin. Library of Light
In the year of Euroluce, the Salone del Mobile has commissioned a monumental kinetic installation by Es Devlin, the British artist and designer, known as a ‘poet of light’. The work has been created within one of Milan’s most venerable landmarks: the Pinacoteca di Brera.
The installation reflects a phrase by Umberto Eco that came to the artist’s mind as she climbed the tall shelves of the Braidense National Library: “Books are the compass of the mind, they point to countless worlds yet to be explored.”
Robert Wilson. Mother
An art, light and sound project of rare intensity, Robert Wilson. Mother, with music by Arvo Pärt, was the first Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025 installation to open to the public.
In the year of Euroluce, the famous American artist has designed a “total work” dedicated to Michelangelo’s masterpiece recognised, along with Leonardo’s Last Supper, as one of the most iconic works of art in Milan.
